3D-printed fidgets and little homes are super fun, colourful, and surprisingly durable, but just like anything handmade, they’ll stay looking their best with a little bit of care. Here’s an easy guide to help you keep your pieces clean, strong, and ready for endless fidgeting!
🌟 General Care Tips
Handle with care
Most fidgets are designed to be clicked, twisted, spun, and played with, but they still appreciate gentle hands, especially the small or more detailed parts.
Keep them out of extreme heat
3D prints don’t love hot cars, direct sunlight for long periods, or being left near heaters. PLA (the material most prints are made from) can warp if it gets too warm.
🧼 How to Clean Your Fidgets
Light dust or fingerprints?
Just wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth.
Need a deeper clean?
Use a soft toothbrush and warm soapy water to gently scrub textured areas. Rinse and let air-dry fully before using again.
Avoid:
-
Harsh chemicals
-
Hot water
-
Soaking for long periods
These can damage the material or loosen any glued pieces.
🏠 Caring for 3D-Printed Homes/Playsets
Your little homes and hideouts are made for display and gentle play, but they’re not toys for rough handling or very young children.
Keep them dust-free
A small paintbrush or makeup brush works perfectly for sweeping dust from tiny corners.
Don’t pull on glued parts
Some pieces are glued together for strength and shape. Tugging or dropping them may loosen the joins.
Safe storage
Place them somewhere cool and dry, a shelf, desk, or display box is ideal. Avoid stacking heavy items on top.
✨ Extra Tips to Keep Them Looking New
-
Rotate moving parts gently to prevent wear.
-
If a piece ever feels loose, reach out, sometimes a quick reglue can fix it.
❤️ Hand-Made with Love
Every fidget and home is 3D-printed, assembled, and finished by hand, so tiny variations are completely normal, it’s what makes them special! With a little care, your pieces will stay bright, smooth, and satisfying for years.
